RNAMENTAL METAL FABRIC.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,457, dated April 5,1887.

Application filed November S), 1385. Serial No. 182,319.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, JULES MooHE, a citizen of the Republic of France,residing at Paris, France, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Ornamental Metal Fabrics; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

This invention has for its object a method of applying lett-ers,ciphers, initials, crowns, arms, symbols, and the like to purses orportemonnaies made of gold, silver, or other metal tissue, or wire-gauzewith loose meshes or rings, aswell as the article thus formed.

The method consists in forming the letters, eiphers, Src., of a numberof separate and independent parts or elements, connected together inrows by soldering or in any other convenient manner, such rowscorresponding exactly with the arrangement of the metal rings or meshesof which the purse consists. When so applied, the elements or partsconstituting the letters or ciphers in no way impair the pliantness orlooseness of the metal tissue, since every row of the said element-sfollows the movements of the corresponding range or series of meshes. Itwill be understood that such elements of letters, ciphers, or symbolsmay be round, rectangular, or assume any desirable ornamental shape.They may or may not be enameled or set out with stones, gems, diamonds,&cl, and instead of being applied to a single range of rings or meshesthey may straddle upon two or more adjacent ranges of rings; or theymay, before being applied to the metal web, be soldered or otherwiseconnected two, three, or more together. This arrangement is illustratedin Figure 2 For this improvement I have obtained Letters Patent of theRepublic of France, which are dated February 25, 1885, and numbered 167,27 2.

My method and the advantages arising from the same will be readilyunderstood upon referring to the accompanying drawings, in Which-- Fig.1 represents a foundation, showing one form of letter applied inaccordance with my method; and Fig. 2,a similar view, with another formof letter, wherein the ground of the gures shown, consisting of smallrings, represents the metal tissue or gauze c a. The hori- (No model.)Patented in France February 95, 1885, No. 167,272.

zontal dotted lines b b, Fig. 1, indicate the corresponding series ofrings or meshes throughont the tissue. The black circles c c show theelements to be applied to the purse so as to constitute the desiredletter, cipher, arms, and the like. As shown, the said elements are inthis instance supposed to lbe placed on ranges b b of the rings or linksforming web a. They are here shown in a circular shape; but it isobvious that they may as well be square, right-angled, oblong, or assumeany other suitable form-for instance, as illustrated in Fig. 2. Thepieces composing the initials, Sto., being thus applied by ranges orrows, the metal tissue or web, made of catenary series of rings, willalways remain loose and supple, as those pieces, or what I callelementsj when set together, form broken lines or rows of links, andthus follow all the movements of the corresponding rings or meshes ofthe tissue.

Having now fully described the nature of my invention, what I claim is`l. An improved method of applying letters, ciphers, initials, crowns,arms, symbols, and the like to purses or porte-monnaies made ofwire-gauze or tissue, the said method consisting in forming the bodiesof the letters, ciphers, Ste., of separate and independent parts, links,or elements,which are connected or soldered to the wire-gauze in rangesor series corresponding to the ranges of meshes or rings of which themetal web or tissue consists-z. e., of which is formed the body of thepurse or porte-monnaie.

2. An improved article of manufacture, con sisting of a iiexiblefoundation formed of a series of rings linked together and ornamentedwith a metallic letter soldered thereto, and divided into sections, soas to bend with the foundation, substantially as described.

3. An improved article of manufacture ,con sisting of a fiexiblefoundation formed of a series of rings linked together, ornamented witha metallic letter or symbol soldered thereto and divided into sectionsconnecting the rings together in horizontal rows, substantially asdescribed.

In testimonywhercoi` I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
